I've grown exceptionally... tired of looking at mod_proxy.
mod_serf is
nice and tight at 440 lines or so.
With just a little more work, I think it could be a production level
reverse proxy.
Oh yeah, and death to ProxyPass, ProxyPassMatch and all similar
directives that should just go inside Location Blocks. mod_serf will
put everything inside a location block like this:
<Location /foo>
SerfPass http://www.exmaple.com/
SerfPreseveHost On
SerfReversePass off
SerfTimeout 5
</Location>
So no more semi-global configurations options like mod_proxy has.
Thoughts?
At the very least, this is super cool since it provides
a code-based usage "guideline" on using serf within httpd.
It does seem a lot leaner than mod_proxy, but then again, mod_proxy
is more than "just" a reverse proxy impl but more a framework
for backend connections...
